Search of Tsarnaevs' phones, computers finds no indication of accomplice, source says
NBCNEWS.com ^ | 4/23/13 | Michael Isikoff, Pete Williams and Erin McClam

A preliminary examination of the cellphones and computers used by the Tsarnaev brothers has found no indication of an accomplice in the Boston Marathon bombing, according to a U.S. counter-terrorism source briefed on the FBI investigation.

The source stressed that the investigation is ongoing, but bureau officials at this point appear increasingly confident that “nobody else was involved,” said the source.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has told investigators he and his brother acted alone, learned to build the pressure-cooker bombs over the Internet and were motivated by a desire to defend Islam because of "the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan," said the source, who has received multiple briefings on the probe.

Right. Osama Bin Laden is dead and Al Qaeda is on the run.

Useful personas being manufactured since it couldn’t be a tea partier. It won’t be important to know why Russia warned us nor is there any reason to be concerned about the trip last year.

They so want to shift blame away from the influence of radical Islam to a disaffected youth meme.

And the economy is booming, and our debt is being reduced, and you’ll save 3000% on Obama’s health care plan which means your company can give you a raise!!

Maybe he misspelled “accomplice.”

Of course they didn’t.

Their wealthy ‘friends’ dealt with them directly. No e-trail or paper trail.

Wow how quickly things change. A couple of days ago we learned about the sleeper cell of 12 individuals. I guess that’s not the story for today.

Exactly right. MSM.GOV is quick to get this story out. Gotta control the narrative before people start connecting the dots on their own.

Hmmmm.....why do I have a hard time believing anything released as news by this administration? Guess I must be a racist.

Does it occur to them maybe they are being outsmarted or fooled again?

sounds like the boy is following the AQ manual published on internet last year closely.

Another thing is that all this info is coming third hand - not directly from the FBI. Is it fact or conjecture??

No way will I ever be convinced these two acted alone.

They weren’t bright enough to pull off an elaborate operation like this by themselves.

No wonder Big Sis was willing to admit they knew about this guy's 6-month vacation at a prime terrorist destination - they were planning to roll out this specious lone wolf tale for the nightly news. How comforting to hear that they did it alone and we are all safe now that they've been foiled. /S

It is conceivable that in this country he had no accomplices. That said, something helped radicalize this guy, and those trips abroad recently probably helped him along the way.
